The Design and Optimization of the Crest Outlet Dam Section and Plunge Pool Configurations for the Tuka River Hydropower Project

The Tuka hydropower project is a medium-sized hydropower development with a roller compacted concrete gravity dam in Yunnan province,China.The configurations of both crest outlet dam section and plunge pool have been optimized in view of short construction period,high construction intensity and large construction quantities of the project.Its construction schedule was achieved before coming of flood by simplifying their configurations and speeding up the construction on condition of ensuring structural strength and stability of the structures.
